can we start using "a ridiculous amount of gold" and "a dragon's horde" as legitimate sums of money everyone just KNOWS the exact number/amount for without specifying in fantasy novels, fanfics (aus), whatever forms of media we can reasonably add it to?

#And it's like a REAL specific amount #especially when accounting for exchange rates #so a dragon's horde could be $250 million US dollars but 67023 golden coins & 28888 silver ones #do the gold and silver coins have names?#No. they're JUST labelled as gold and silver coins #BUT because of modern outsourcing metals they're mostly made of gold/copper mix and silver/nickel/platinum mix #tangent aside...#fantasy #high fantasy #writing #ALSO IF ITS SO SPECIFIC BETWEEN CURRENCIES IT GETS TO BE VAGUE CUZ HOWS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS IN YOUR MADE UP CURRENCY

space sweepers but they're delivery people and are at no point on screen through the entire movie

#fantasy high #riz gukgak #kristen applebees #gorgug thistlespring #adaine abernant #fabian seacaster #figueroth faeth #the bad kids #half tempted to say these names are forum handles they use so much it pretty much became their professional names lol #I keep them teenagers bc its funnier that way #no real lore I just like drawing this. but I do think abt how theyre all weirdos too also bc thats funny to me #riz is a huge conspiracyhead who does everything by hands. he has a casio fx-570 in mint condition. nobody knows how he's maintaining it #he is nonetheless Really Good at his job. which somewhat tracks bc it's a job that requires keeping up with interstation conflicts #and new policies and an obsessive amount of planning. but he is Too Good at it. and also he dresses like that #kristen has the atomic engine that theoretically lets her unmake and remake matters with her mind. but it consumes a huge amount #of energy so it's mostly useless. she's still a cult survivor also #gorgug lives his entire life on a ship with his parents who quit a cushy deal maintaining a space station bc he wouldn't be allowed on #the low gravity let him grow very tall but also his oxygen saturation is pretty bad so he's got breathing support #fig is a robot who just found out she's a robot like two months ago. she's been assuming everyone's a robot like her and she's been feeling #very betrayed by her mom lying about that part. she's on a body mod spree which is rough bc system-specific parts are expensive #and so is adapting random parts to her system #fabian's still a pirate captain's son. can't say anything that'd be able to get the vibes across clearer than that #adaine went to tech/business school. she put her monthly allowance towards an ecoterrorist group in her academy which turned out to be an o #and she's currently wanted by UTS. more than fabian. which makes him slightly mad #she's also acquired a passion for low-tech weaponry on the way. she likes ice picks and cleavers #I think up all of this for no reason except that once again the idea of all these people being 1/teens and 2/on the same ship to be posties #is hilarious to me. esp. if they were in a forum group chat beforehand

"Seungmin would be SO hot if he got muscle like, can you imagine?" You would be hotter if you shut your mouth but we can't always get what we want so <3

#the amount of times ive seen this exact comment or sentiment over the past 6ish months in particular #truly pissing me off <3 #like first things first- hes already handsome so if you dont see that... its fine. we all have different tastes but also be quiet <3 #but like we know first hand from him that he isnt particularly interested in the gym and working out #hes not a changbin. its not his thing- he goes to keep up stamina for live shows #and the fact hes been very specific in saying so any time anyone mentions him working out and going to the gym is so like......#its kinda obvious that hes doing a polite 'please dont hassle me about getting bigger' so he makes sure to always go Its For Endurance #and yet i still see this and also. um theres other members who are muscley so why does seungmin also have to follow that route?#like if you want muscle theres people you can go look at... but also half these people cant even identify actual healthy muscle #vs. someone being so skinny that they have no fat on them and somehow think thats real muscle so like lol #its been so specifically the past half a year tho like whats that about why #its really one of those be quiet im so tired #well on the otherhand i was so stressed about my doctors appointment but now annoyance took the worries place so 🤷‍♀️#like its funny how X should lose weight comments are recognised for being shitty but the 'x should totally change his physique' is chill tho #like if seungmin organically of his own accord ever becomes a muscle bro bc /he/ wants that than for sure i'll be like Woo go seungmin !!#but only if he wants it. not the fans being annoying not bc of staff or beauty standards not bc of the other guys

soul can do the same tricks with his trident that you can do with a flag

i'm not sure if australians have color/winter guard at their schools or an equivalent to that, and if they do, whole learned some stuff there, and if they don't, soul wanted to do something cool and binged youtube videos

his favorite tricks are those that involve a lot of wrist flicking and look super trippy from an outside perspective (aka the ones i can't do) and he likes tossing really fucking high (think triples for fun)

and for convenience his trident is weighted similarly to a flag bc logic doesn't exist in headspace (sorry mindie)

- sincerely, a guard kid who needs to project and make it her whole (haha) personality

Headcanon #571

#chonny jash #submission #cj soul #chonnys charming chaos compendium #ooooooo yes yes #also considering he can kickflip the trident. imaging someone kickfliping a whole ass flag mid show is VERY funny to me #also feel like he'd do the mini spins as a fidget/way to think #technically imaging him using a rifle for it since its not as tall/long but yk what i mean #(i will say i was a band kid so not a guard kid but guard counts as band so i know a fair amount just not specifics)#okay now you've gotten me wanting to draw him either doing some of the tricks or in some neat guard outfit #if i ever have the time at least #anyway you are so correct i love this #also you're so real for projecting stuff like this unto them. its so fun

“Fandom isn’t fun anymore fandom isn’t fun anymore” tbh it just feels like white racist “normies” jumped in as opposed to white racist nerds and for me personally u can feeeel it kinda but it doesn’t change much

#like yeah it’s more homophobic #but if u were a fan of a black character and didn’t stereotype them or have them revolve around a white character #Ur getting the same amount of queer content as u were before it’s whatever #like i don’t feel the need to justify my ships or whatever I got over that when I was in middle school thinking I kinda hated the way y’all #saw bismuth #like this is a very sad day for real white nerds #but for blerds it’s like. there’s 12 of u now instead of 10 #like awwww u don’t like when ppl tell u to get over their bigotry :((#u don’t like when ppl say it’s not bigotry it’s just an opinion and ur taking it too serious 🥺#is it annoying when u see ur faves getting called bops or diddy or shoehorned into caretakers roles to continue to prop up the importance #of their white male counterparts ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️#how saaaaaad #and it’s very telling it took y’all this long to notice it like #Maybe perhaps deep down ur recognizing there’s so many similarities that u only clocked the behavior when they started going after u?#also complete side note to convo is that for a lot yall fandoms not fun anymore or ppl don’t let ppl have fun #is not a result of cringe culture but a result of more poc and women refusing to let y’all sideline and mischaracterize everyone who’s not #a white man anymore #Like yeah sure it’s shipping for a lot of y’all but for a lot of y’all ur mad u can’t say this girl is getting in the way of ur ship anymore #Ur mad that we’re clocking how ur bigotry irl is shaping fandom spaces and that the small things u just so happen to get wrong are related #that’s about tim stand specifically but u already know #every person who’s written a creepy Ra’s Al ghul fic #and u know what the fuck i mean by creepy #u owe an Arab person $50 and a hand written apology #and if u donated to ao3 keep the apology and send $100

i made little timelines of the black suits post canon and my headcanons for them because i am in fact joe iconis and they are in fact my ocs

#nates drawings #the black suits #this is heavily inspired by ne0-gal’s bmc things everyone say thank you ne0-gal #these are canon but specifically chris and johns #bisexual bigender john you are canon and real ❤️#CASS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I WILL CRY #i had such a hard time with brandon im honestly not that much of a brandon fan compared to the others #so i might need someone else to confirm or deny #not written but it’s canon: cass went through like. a dozen names before she landed on cass #because that’s what i did when deciding her new name #like every week for a few months she had a new name #very unrelated but to me nato got scurvy in college #his ass was NOT getting the required amount of vitamin c #nato obenkrieger #chris thurser #john amoroso #brandon keese #transmasc nato obenkrieger #transfem chris thurser #cassidy thurser #i have a hunch (i always knew /ref) that this has a very niche target audience

Actually, Guzman is his spanish name.

OH YEAH some other folks pointed that out too, makes sense since it's an irl Spanish name (probably why I see it around a lot!) 😳

(normally it's a surname, I've only seen it used as a first name once in a blue moon -- but also in the pokemon world it's pretty clear that naming conventions aren't the same lol)

#oceandi answers #radicalldreamer #still harder for me to connect it to him since I played all the games in english -- it's only one letter away but it still feels just a #smidge closer than 'bromley'#frankly I hope someone out there calls him 'bromley guzmán' as his full name. and he just GOES by 'guzma' bc it sounds cool #that'd be neat #tag rambling #rambling ahead ->#speaking of guzma I spent a long time talking about aus with some friends and well. I think his dad's from johto skdjfksjdfskjd #iirc that was a HC back in the day amongst a small group of guz enjoyers.... but I think it makes SO much sense for gene's guz specifical #ly bc listen . hear me out okay he somehow knew about the bug trainers' convention and he wanted to go and usu'ally they #hold it in JOHTO. he's never won a gold medal for BATTLE but got the dawn stone as his first ever victory -- guess what region you can #get a dawn stone from in a competition that's based on more than just battling? YEAH -- JOHTO BUG CATCHING CONTEST BABEYYY #(hgss edition)#TWO of his main team are johto pokemon #he moved from melemele island to ula'ula where malie city/garden are -- inspired by johto and even including a johto-style gym #(I mean yeah he STAYED bc po town had a sudden amount of free real estate but why did he GO THERE in the FIRST place to join the #proto-Team Skull.)#though ig if he hates his dad maybe his dad's Not from johto and is from paldea instead ('rents could've been inspired by the name guzmán #and just wanted to make it sound more unique lol)#but either way he totally used to go to johto with his dad which is where he won a bug catching contest with his pinsir.#and then started winning battles there but always getting second/third place in actual like. /competition/ competitions. so not #getting the grand prizes/money/stuff/fame that his dad wanted him to earn for the family #ANYWAYS.

gang i have to share this P. G. Wodehouse quote with you all because ever since I found it I can't stop thinking about it. it's from a letter he wrote when he was 78 years old to his friend Guy Bolton (many thanks to P. G. Wodehouse: A Life in Letters)

I have been on the sick list myself, but am better now. Inflamed bladder or chill on the bladder or something, the symptoms being agony when I passed water, as the expression is. It brought back the brave old days when I used to get clap.

he really said "yeah the pain from my bladder issue reminds of the days when I used to have so much sex I repeatedly got venereal disease"

#red randomness #p. g. wodehouse #he was so known for not having sex with his beloved wife #that i truly didn't expect this at all #i feel like i see a lot of people saying with a great deal of confidence that he was sex-repulsed ace #especially due to the wife thing #but while he certainly may have been ace on some level #i feel like at the very least this casts some doubt on the sex-repulsed part lmao #i suppose it's possible he was lying but wouldn't this be such a specific and unnecessary lie in this context?#especially for a private letter to a friend he'd known and worked with for decades #because he really didn't even need to bring it up #of course i am open to evidence to the contrary #i just dislike seeing overconfident opinions broadly prevail #even when aspects of a real person's life suggest the possibility of otherwise #the study of history is meant to breed discussion!#and something that goes against the grain of past assumption is certainly worth discussing imo #also very grateful to the unpublished monograph by George Simmers about Honeysuckle Cottage #because that's how i found out about this letter in the first place!#great monograph mr. simmers please publish it someday #opened my third eye about the potential latent homosexuality in that story (among other things)#and at risk of having someone get mad at me or say i'm trying to like. diminish or slander the ace community by saying this #please don't assume that. that's why i've been afraid to share this before.#i'm not confidently stating wodehouse is anything. he's a real man who lived and i didn't know him #but by the same token neither does anyone else #i'm just as tired of people in history who have a fair amount of suggestion of being aroace being broadly assumed gay #despite evidence to the contrary #or people confidently assigning queerness to historical figures when evidence of them being queer in any way is ambiguous at best #everything in history is a maybe. we just collect facts and analyze them.#and my current analysis based on this line is that i'm not sure i think he was very sex-repulsed after all #(but like. i'm not going around insulting or fighting people about it in dms or something. and neither should you)

can they just say whos voicing shadow already so i can be free from the neverending cycle of random twitter users claiming to know who the va is and saying it with no evidence and people just believing it and spreading it as confirmed fact

#''keanu reeves is voicing shadow guys !!! look this leaker confirmed it !!!!''#we've been through this already you guys were saying the exact same shit about hayden whatever his name is not too long ago. come on.#idk what it is about the sonic movies specifically that has people accepting baseless rumors as facts #or falling for obviously fake leaks or just spreading easily debunked misinformation #or even taking something that Is true and turning it into some wild exaggerated version that definitely isnt true anymore #example of the last thing: i once saw people take ''the director of the sonic movies worked on the cgi cutscnes for shadow the hedgehog''#which is true. and turn it into ''the creator of the shadow the hedgehog game is being brought onto the movie team to make sonic 3'' ?????#and also people saying that the third movie is confirmed to be a shadow the hedgehog adaptation #JUST because some of the writers mentioned that game in an interview once as a shadow focused game they COULD take inspo from #but didnt confirm anything.. and people were also framing these claims as reasons to panic because they dont like shth #which makes it more annoying ...#also the amount of times ive seen obviously fanmade movie posters for sonic 3 being spread around as real. come on.#not saying the keanu as shadow rumors are 100 percent fake but we definitely dont have any reason to be immediately accepting #them as fact either. because this person is providing literally no evidence and could easily be lying

shoutout to my stepmom for trivializing the impact of the election because ‘some people are really suffering’ because a really really tragic freak accident happened to one of jack’s classmates

#like. yes. of course. a family losing their 10yo child is fucking horrifying. and they deserve so much love and support.#but then being like ‘well trump being elected only means unpleasant things Could happen to small portions of the population.’#she specifically was like. ‘like. the tiny amount of people who are.. uhh.. L.. GB.. T.. Q? MIGHT have a harder time.’#‘but that’s nothing compared to the loss of a child.’#and i’m like. girl idk how to tell you this #but that’s not….. like . the point?#and also. plenty of people will be separated from their kids by border control and deportation.#by violent hate crimes and increased suicide rates.#and homelessness and starvation and a lack of access to healthcare #and unsafe illegal abortions or violent partners they will be attached to forever by an unwanted child.#like. politics does in fact have real ramifications for vulnerable people.#but. it’s easy for her to feel removed from it. in her white upper class christian bubble.#to her it’s just words. just debates. that you shouldn’t have over dinner.#izzy.txt

DANG. Absolutely cold-blooded.

#I’d expect a zinger like that outta reggie any day but dilton?#did not see that coming in a million years #he’s choosing an insult OVER answering a question in class correctly?#what did archie DO to motivate this??#archie comics #dilton doiley #archie andrews #mr. flutesnoot #really though you can’t answer the original question without knowing exactly how many gallons archie’s horrible car can hold #my real question is where dilton got 8.342 from #I was expecting it to equal some natural number like 1 or 2 but when I did the calculations it equaled 2.2072932 gallons #I double checked my work with the internet and recieved 2.2037233 gallons instead #I’m almost certain this is a result of mr. flutesnoot rounding his provided number of gallons by several decimal places #so that I calculated the conversion with one liter equaling 0.264 gallons rather than 0.264172 gallons #of course when I checked it again with my own calculator I got 2.203722824 which is closer to but not quite 2.2037233 #because even if you rounded it so that a three would follow the two you’re still left with ‘230’ rather than ‘233’ at that one part #so the more accurate values I found must still be rounded by some amount to cause the discrepancy #at ANY rate: unless I have missed something in my calulations the number 8.342 has no particular significance #this isn’t lightning-fast mental math. dilton just made that number up on the spot #and the specificity only exists to make him sound smarter #(and it kinda worked because I did initially assume there was some meaning behind the number)#the joke might have landed better if he’d have said ‘3.785 liters’ (exactly 1 gallon)#UNLESS the gas prices at the time happened to work out so that 2.2037233 gallons equaled exactly one dollar or someth—

what was your first favorite transformers character when you were new to the franchise? are they your favorite still, or did your thoughts change?

Ratchet, followed closely by Optimus. And they are definitely still my favourites for sure. I'm happy ratchet is one of the more consistent and recurring characters in tf media because I <3 him and every characterization of him except you bayverse fuck you fuck you fuck you penis blast of which I did not know when I had only watched tfp because, well, I had no idea about any of the other media except the movies and g1.

#which in hindsight is crazy #that I managed to not know about literally any of it at all #like truly had no idea there were other shows #or comics #or anything #when its rivals DC for its amount of random one offs and shows and comics and fractured storylines #like how did I do that #I say knowing full well I'll do it again #they call me the unknower. and well. you'll never believe what I don't know #though recently I met my match #one of my coworkers who's a real movie critic was talking to me about the MCU.. specifically the spiderman movies #and when I started talking about the origins of Spiderman. how Stan lee first got the comic published etc #he was like Stan Lee didn't write the comics?? he's a movie director #and I was like BOY DO I HAVE SOME INFO FOR YOU #it was crazy #it was so crazy. I mean he did say he's not a comic reader. or a cartoon watcher. so I suppose it makes sense he was only interested in #stan lee's career as the director of the earlier marvel movies #but like.... holy shit man #where have you been. how #how did you manage to not know that #a kindred spirit....

you know what? if I was an (un) natural blonde with brown eyes and my chronically depressed, goth ass, pale ass, doesn’t say more than two words ass, raven haired, bright blue eyed guitarist kept mogging me I’d quit the band too

#mötley crüe #mick mars #vince neil #the amount of photoshoots where vince looks like a greasy circus clown and mick looked like an angel that just descended to earth is unreal #mick mogs the hell outta all of them but more specifically the ‘blond’#like blondie I’m so sorry he’s doing that #yes he should be locked up for crimes against humanity (looking so beautiful with his gothic air and evil demeanour)#ok enough mick posting my god I need to hop off his dick real quick

hello! quick reminder that as all the media surrounding demi lovato’s interview where they said they were “tired” of using they/them pronouns show misleading headlines about how demi was “exhausted from using they/them” what actually happened is that demi lovato said it was exhausting having to constantly explain themselves and constantly educate people on they/them pronouns.

#i want to talk about this more but there’s a very specific kind of exhaustion that comes from being out as nonbinary #i detransitoned for several years bc of it and it actively takes more energy (which i already don’t have a lot of)#i’ve talked to a couple of my binary trans friends about it and also one person who came out as a trans man #who then later came out as nonbinary and not a trans man #and there is a specific exhaustion that comes from constantly being a walking educator but also a walking topic of debate #and i specify nonbinary people here bc we face an increased amount of like ‘this is not real’ or ‘this is not correct’ in very medial things #like no trans man or trans woman will have to spend the mental energy to explain to ppl that she/he are real pronouns #they may expend energy in other —equally infuriating— ways. but not on that way specifically #and it’s really exhausting to have to —in the best of exhausting cases— spend time explaining what they/them pronouns are #explain how to use they/them. and also go through the other shit trans ppl have to do #like i know from multiple friends how exhausting being told ‘you’re not a boy you’re just a confused girl’ is but i know personally #how exhausting ‘you’re not nonbinary you’re just a confused girl ALSO nonbinary isn’t real’ is #nonbinary #queer #demi lovato

"what would your character be like without their trauma?" is such a hard question for me because it makes me feel like a massive asshole LMAO

(im attaching a picture of a tundra literally to add context to my ramble in the tags because my posts are structured by a sane person) (you should read the ramble in the tags i talk so much about rivers fsr)

#like. rivers would probably just purpose funky things for the hell of it and study lizards and stuff #i think environmentalism would matter to him since he was created long before the great equalizer when there was like. actually a view #have you guys ever looked at a tundra for real theyre so pretty. i think the colours would be funkier though #purples and blues along with the reds and oranges i think but id have to draw it tio be sure its not ugly #anyways. rivers would probably be interested in nature conservation especially since the ancients destroyed the world-#but the iterators construction obviously had a massive part in that so hed feel ownership #him and glass wouldve got along VERY well in this circumstance since that matters a lot to her (specifically animal conservation though)#but at the same time glass doesnt exist without rivers trauma right. she cant exist if flowers isnt in his life because he Literally built #her (glass) just to be mean to rivers #doomed for real #i....... want them to be friends in the walky au. my massive block is trying to think of some reason nights Needs to leave his can because #he wouldnt if not required. and glass just wouldnt leave him. in no circumstance would they willingly separate from eachothers company #theyd ALSO need to be really fast because the only opportunity nights would get to get out is when odyssey goes to him to help her build #the weapon she needs to kill dune. (odyssey has the gift. the twins dont know anyone else who does((other than phrases obvsly)))#this happens a considerable amount of time after phrases and rivers escape. they have like. a month's time on them #odysseys like “if you guys are for real about leaving do NOT go straight south. dont. dont. dont. youre like 2 feet tall you WILL die”#nights is like “DEAR GOD SERIAL KILLERS??????” and glass is like “wtf youre only like a foot taller than us”#anyways i think glass and rivers would get along and rivers has a positive arc here right and realizes hes wrong and hes glad he didnt.#kill the twins. yeah its good you didnt do that dude #i jsut really really think theyd get along if rivers had the chance to associate her with anything but flowers horrid treatment of him #because in the normal story all he sees when he sees her is flowers. and like flowers could the twins can tap into his work and see his #files and logs and such whenever they wanted. they didnt do this very often- glass really never looked at rivers work unless she was told t #but rivers was just made SO paranoid by flowers abuse that thinking of being watched makes him feel sick and horrible #and his whole thing is trying to find a way to feel less horrible right so thats (part of) why he decides to get rid of them #hm. if rivers wassnt traumatized hed like nature and creatures. anyways #oc posting #look to the tags for the oc posting
